Installed the OS for the Raspberry Pi:

ask me for the login credentials if interested (mebert at wisc dot edu)

I was unable to ping the pi through direct connection to the device. Once we get a switch down here it should be easier to set up for ssh.

Ahmed, will your homegrown copter fly this Saturday?

Resource information at Drones project! - duncan

No, This Saturday (9/14) we will build the frame of the quadcopter then for each subsequent week adding components until we get a full grown quadcopter with whatever add-on we can. -Ahmed

We built the frame of the quadcopter. Here are some of the images we have taken during the assembly:

  • quadcopter-frame-only-1.jpg

  • quadcopter-frame-only-2.jpg

  • quadcopter-frame-only-3.jpg

  • . Thanks Matt Ebert, Ian Wisher, Gautam Govardan, and Daniel Eckerson for helping out!
